Most of the time I just work around things like this and use a Do Until Loop with a short sleep function only in the loop; and just do the loop until pixelgetcolor equals a color that only exists on the page after it has finished loading like this.

Do
    Sleep(10)
Until PixelGetColor(x,y) = (color)

just fill in the x, y and color and this should work. Their is a tool (named: autoit window info) that comes with autoit that can get the values of the x, y and the color for you.

Not to be rude, but how often does a webpage take longer than 10 seconds to load? Most webmasters won't allow for more than 3-4 maybe 5...people are impatient when it comes to computers for some reason...considering the computer spends millions of clock cycles waiting on the user

Are you using IE?

Did you look at the com funcs?

You will need the beta.

BTW, The Sleep() Function is measured in milliseconds so Sleep(10) is 10 milliseconds (1/100th of a second), not 10 seconds.... which would be Sleep(10000).

thanks

the method with x,y and pixel color works good.

You welcome

hello,

work the same with words? e.g.: Welcome on my Page!

and when a page has loading problems, can i include a refresh after 30 sec's?

[MSLx Fanboy 0]

$title = WinGetTitle("the window title")

ControlSend($title, "", "", "^{F5}")

That should pull the full window title of the window title you entered, and then send a Ctrl+F5 to it (a forced page-refresh).

Do

Sleep(10)

Until PixelGetColor(x,y) = (color)

==============================================

Genius stuff! Thank you. I have been trying to find a better solution for a long time..

One thing I always did instead of the PixelGetColor() was the StatusBarGetText() because if this script ever needs to go on another computer the browser will have to be the same size and in the same position and with the same resolution for it to work.

JS

ok... StatusbarGetText("Internet Explorer") works. THX!

but i don't know how can i integrate this into a loop?

i want continue the loop till the web-site loads complete.

i tried this:

Do

Sleep(10)

Until StatusbarGetText("Internet Explorer") = (Fertig)

it doesn´t work

can someone give me an example please?

[steveR 0]

Do

Sleep(10)

Until StatusbarGetText("Internet Explorer") = "Fertig"

strings go between quotes

[Stormy 0]

Do

Sleep(10)

Until StatusbarGetText("Internet Explorer") = "Fertig"

i tried this... but when the page loads complete (Fertig) the script do nothing

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Is the (Fertig) in the () on the status bar? If so should be as follows...

Do
   Sleep(10)
Until StatusBarGetText("Internet Explorer") = "(Fertig)"

I dont think that is the case... That being the issue.. do the following.

Let the webpage load and do this.

MsgBox(0, "Debug", StatusBarGetText("Internet Explorer"))

I hope this helps some,

JS

[Stormy 0]

Fertig is without the ()

i tried this:

MsgBox(0, "Debug", StatusBarGetText("Internet Explorer"))

but i get only a blank MsgBox

[steveR 0]

Put this at the top of the script to see if it changes anything (under the #include statement)

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

I assume (fertig) is at the far left of the statusbar, panel 1? If it's not, you have to supply the panel number:

StatusbarGetText ( "title" [, "text" [, part]] )

Parameters

title The title of the window to check. 
text [optional] The text of the window to check. 
part [optional] The "part" number of the status bar to read - the default is 1. 1 is the first possible part and usually the one that contains the useful messages like "Ready" "Loading...", etc.

I was able to get this to work on mine. Mine says "Done":

opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

$title = "Internet Explorer"
WinWaitActive($title)

Do
    Sleep(50)
Until StatusbarGetText($title) = "Done"

MsgBox(0, "", StatusbarGetText($title))

StatusbarGetText seems to work with Internet Explorer but not Firefox.

Has anyone had any success with Firefox? Am I doing something wrong

Using AutoIt Info it shows that AutoIt doesnt pickup the status bar text of Firefox. There may be another way, but there isnt using that function as of right now.
